The answer is 26. You do 10/1 multiplied by the reciprocal of 5/13 which is 13/5. If you multiply them you get 130/5 which when simplified is 26.
The total number of dancers in the school is 150.
"Product" signifies multiplication, and "half" means divide by two (or multiply by 1/2). So half the product of b and c is (bc)/2 or (1/2)(bc).
Answer:
To do this, you need to multiply out the expressions. This is a bit tedious, but remember like FOIL for binomials, for these trinomials you must multiply each term. If you need a step-by-step, I'd be happy to provide it. Let me know.
Once you have simplified the expression, you get
-x-9/2x-4
But, the problem stipulates that a must equal 1. We can equivalently factor out the negative sign and put it on the denominator with no change to write
x+9/-(2x-4) = x+9/-2x+4
So, seeing where each coefficient corresponds between the two expressions, you get a = 1, b = 9, c = –2, and d = 4.
